Have the right mindset: Have you ever gone out to dinner and been told the wait is half an hour, then fifty minutes later you finally get sat? What are your options? You can complain and grumble about the long wait, and how hungry you were the whole time, OR, you can make the most of the time you were waiting to enjoy the companionship of those you were with. You can make it a fun night, despite the long wait time. Or, you can be in a sour mood, and find something wrong with everything. The key to having fun, no matter what the circumstances is deciding to have fun no matter what the circumstances. The same holds true for fun in relationships. If you want each time you are together to be fun, then be determined to have fun. Laughter is contagious, so laugh often. You can have fun doing things that are not typically considered fun. Even washing the dishes after a dinner together can be fun, if you are determined to have it be.

So, get in the fun mindset, and your relationship will never be anything but fun. You can make fun out of nothing, so do it!

Staying on your toes: This is the second step to keeping relationships fun. Relationships get dull when the people in them stop working on getting to know one another and impress one another. While you should not be faking anything, or putting on a façade, it is also not a good idea to get so comfortable with someone that you stop trying. Half the fun of a relationship is in pleasing the other person. So, keep yourself on your toes, and keep them on their toes. Surprise them, change things up on them, and keep them guessing what your next move will be. This can be done with simple things like writing a note and leaving it in their car for them to find, or preparing a candlelight dinner, even if you eat take-out. The point is to keep things interesting, never let yourself get so comfortable that you quit caring or trying. Do you want to be a boring couple? Do you want to have a boring friendship? No, so stay on your toes, keep things lively, don't get boring.

Try the following five things to keep your relationship fun:

1. Do something unexpected. This can be popping in to their work, or starting a food fight at dinner.


2. Tell a joke. Joke telling is a great way to get laughter going, and laughter is contagious.


3. Stop being so proper. A lot of times you have to let down your guard about what you are supposed to be doing to enjoy fun more.


4. Play. Sometimes relationships aren't fun because you stop playing. You worry too much about money, bills, jobs, work, etc. and forget to just play together.


5. Get touchy feely. It is fun to hug, touch, hold hands, etc. Even if you are just friends, put your arm around one another and walk together. Sometimes physical contact inspires fun because it is so comforting.
